Over hyped guys with limited abilities ... Codrington has no chin and Stevens has no chance if he can't knock you out. Both guys are limited and have a lot of mouth ... it give NY fighters a bad name ... it seems as though the NY fighters suck and NY hasn't had a top notch fighter since buddy mcgirt? ... If you guys know of some NY fighters that were top notch and didn't resemble the NY fighters of today, letme know.
I'm from NY and I'll be honest, I never bought into that chin checkers bull****. I always felt Codrington was a joke and his highest accolade would be what he accomplished in the Golden Gloves. Nothing more. I don't count that contenders "reality" T.V. show bull****. I wanted to see him layed out 2003 after he won his Golden Gloves title, when he threw up a gang sign after the fight. Allen Green brought me alot of satisfaction. Stevens I always felt was undersized and would only be a matter of time before he would start fighting guys that weren't gonna bow down to his power and look what happened. Exposed. All mouth, no cardio, **** talking, no show, limited, VERY average fighter. Stevens makes Zab Judah's cardio look like Manny Pacquiao's. Pathetic. People can say what they want about the way Dirrell beat him, but fact is, he exposed the fact that Stevens was unable to cut off the ring and was a very limited & one dimensional offensive fighter. "Chin Checkers" my ass. They got checked and got they're asses cashed out.
reality tv show BULL****???? hahahaha he fought a ****ing WAR with sakio bika who is a top 10 fighter in the hottest class in the world...they may be dicks but they have certainly accomplished more than u ever will:deal
It isn't that difficult to earn some name fighting bums in club scenes. I admit I didn't see the Green win coming but I saw the Brinkley win coming. As far as potential goes, Stevens has it. He just doesn't use his head. Typical American behavior sadly. The way Teddy Atlas goes about commentating during their fights annoys the **** out of me. He should be more honest with the fans and with himself. He dogs guys like Samuel Peter for coming in out of shape and disinterested. He needs to do the same with the local boys.
Codrington has been KO'd twice and Stevens has been KO'd once and outclassed twice ... I think NY fighters just have a ton of mouth and don't put in the work to make a leap in class. Either you're a fast fighter or you're a power puncher ... staying in such a big market can give a fighter alot of hype and a false sense of self.
Codrington was always going to be let down by his chin. He could have worked his ass off all he could and he still would be where he is today. Stevens is too short and slow afoot to ever become an elite fighter
Teddy Atlas Rides Eastcoast fighters dick. he's alwasy been that way. but he won't come out here with that **** he Knows West coast fighters got more heart skills and talent. Forgot Power and most of all A ****ing Chin
Funny how this statement comes from some ****** named pauliemayweather. And yes, "reality T.V. show bull****". I said nothing about Bika, dumbass. And as far as them accomplishing more than I have (Boxing wise) then sure (Boxing wise) they have. But I'll tell you this, they didn't accomplish much So as far as my career, surpassing them might not take to long. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. Sure I may not have my face on TV right now, and maybe I let a few prime years slip by, but you have no idea who I am, how good I am, what I'm good at, how long I've been training, or what my aspirations are as a Fighter homeboy. You don't know **** about me. So since you wanna get personal and attack me, I'll simply say atleast I'm my own man. There's a difference between fans and straight up dick riders. I see you ride real good just by your name, pauliemayweather. Talking **** from out your ass to someone you don't even know, just like your "magic man". If you don't like what I'm saying to you, if you're a New Yorker, you can go to Gleason's, sign the waiver, I'll do the same, and you can do something about it. *****:deal
Jorge Terron, Joe Greene are 2 NY fighters with promise that you should look out for...and when Travis Peterkin turns pro, he will be a champ. Believe that. Yea. I'm from NY too and seen Codrington at a few amateur events years back...he never seemed that cocky but I think the whole Chin Checkers thing got him big headed. It was always Curtis Stevens that had the big mouth and big ego. Being hometown fighters I should've been rooting for them but I always rooted against them, especially Stevens.
